There is an everlasting distance and interdependence between mines and end-users as it
involves different types of equipment, infrastructure, and facilities, including excavators …

Nowadays, with the advancement of technological innovations and wide implementation of
modern mining equipment, research topics on mining equipment management are attracting …

This study considered and developed four artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to estimate
mining capital cost (MCC) for open-pit copper mining projects with high accuracy, including …

Given a discretized representation of an ore body known as a block model, the open pit
mining production scheduling problem that we consider consists of defining which blocks to …

A large number of metal deposits are initially extracted via surface methods, but then
transition underground without necessarily ceasing to operate above ground. Currently …

In this paper, we present a novel multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming model to
support wine grape harvesting. The proposed model considers the opposing nature of …

The open pit mine production scheduling problem determines a sequence of three-
dimensional, notional block extraction that maximises net present value (NPV) of future cash …

This paper presents the development and implementation of an innovative mixed integer
programming based mathematical model for an open pit mining operation with Grade …

The trend in underground mine development is trackless transportation, and the scheduling
optimization of underground mine trackless transportation is a current research hotspot. This …

This work presents a novel mixed integer programming model for simultaneous optimisation
of ore production and waste dumping schedule for an open-pit mining complex. The model …
